ConceptDeterministic Generation
Deterministic Generation
A generation method in which a given input (seed and algorithm) always produces exactly the same output. The algorithm must avoid dependence on nondeterministic factors such as time and hardware. It is a technical prerequisite for seed-based synchronization and low bandwidth requirements in multiplayer online games.

Deterministic generation means that given the same input (seed and algorithm), the exact same output is always produced; in multiplayer games it is used to ensure that each client's world is consistent and to avoid synchronization errors.
